There are 2-different variable capacitors used by TRW and both types definitely need the braid added as well as needing to be lubricated again. Both versions, of the tube-type LMOs are shown in my article on adding the braid at the following URL:</span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457964044833_13846"><span><br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457964044833_13846"><span><br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457964044833_13846"><span><br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457964044833_13846"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457964044833_14108"><a href="http://nebula.wsimg.com/0900b5e95d5811deaba3db293aa63ae5?AccessKeyId=5DDC3F25F0398F58962E&disposition=0&alloworigin=1" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457964044833_14106">http://nebula.wsimg.com/0900b5e95d5811deaba3db293aa63ae5?AccessKeyId=5DDC3F25F0398F58962E&disposition=0&alloworigin=1</a><br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457964044833_13846"><span><br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457964044833_13846"><span><br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457964044833_13847"><span><br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457964044833_13849"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457964044833_13848">The solid-state LMOs that were used in the SB-303 and SB-102 have at least 1 additional manufacturer besides TRW.

Oh, you can make it do just the opposite, believe me. You can set
up the cap to either start from fully open or from fully closed.
Thinking that the LMO would "naturally be set up to go up in
frequency with indicated read out frequency" I set it up to start
from fully closed.....but if it starts from fully open, guess what?
The frequency will go <i>down</i> as you turn the dial
clockwise..... Spent the hour before going to church reversing it
and getting the spring loaded drive gear "cocked" and the braid back
on...it should work right now...<br clear="none"></div></div></div> </div> </div> </div></div></body></html>
